Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
8.5/10	87%	Bullhead (2012)	" Bullhead is a tragic drama that deserves all of the praise it's getting, if not more. Thanks to the film's bold direction and a unique performance by Matthias Schoenaerts, it makes for an almost perfect viewing experience." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 22, 2012
6/10	44%	American Reunion (2012)	" American Reunion is the worst slice of pie yet. All of the jokes are ten years too old and none of the serious dramatic turns amounts to anything." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 22, 2012
9/10	67%	Friends With Kids (2012)	" Friends With Kids is an excellent, insightful romantic comedy, the genre at its very best, and Lionsgate has put together a stellar Blu-Ray release. Highly recommended." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 21, 2012
6/10	53%	Being Flynn (2012)	" Being Flynn is a revealing and true film with a universal message, but the lack of bonus material makes the Blu-Ray a rental at best." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 21, 2012
8/10	33%	The Butterfly Effect (2004)	" The Butterfly Effect is a promising and original sci-fi film from newcomer directors Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 21, 2012
7/10	38%	Lockout (Unrated) (2012)	" Guy Pearce channels his inner badass as the film's lead. His cross between John McClane and Snake Plissken injects the film with much-needed comedy." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 21, 2012
7/10	80%	Get the Gringo (2012)	" Get the Gringo is over-the-top fun in the cheapest of ways, but Gibson's comedy mixed with the multiple bloody shootouts makes it a worthwhile rental." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 21, 2012
7/10	44%	Casa de mi padre (2012)	" Casa de mi Padre is Will Ferrell's weirdest film yet, paying complete homage to Spanish westerns while also becoming its own film." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 21, 2012
6/10	32%	Intruders (2012)	" Intruders is a complete failure. Clive Owen's performance is off-balance and out of focus, while Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's direction is full of overused horror shots, which elicit not a single scare." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 21, 2012
7.5/10	41%	The Flowers of War (2011)	" Christian Bale carries yet another bloated war drama with a performance that slowly develops in front of your eyes." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 21, 2012
5/10	41%	Silent House (2012)	" Elizabeth Olsen's scream-filled performance, combined with the one take filming technique and the minimal lighting make Silent House a creepy and atmospheric film, but the script only has enough material for 25 good minutes." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 18, 2012
9/10	84%	Total Recall (1990)	" Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi classic Total Recall holds up very well, even against some of today's sci-fi standards. " — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 18, 2012
4/10	——	Hijacked (2012)	" Hijacked is the typical straight-to-home video B movie trash that you'd expect. Randy Couture makes the film somewhat enjoyable, but only because his deadpan acting is hilarious." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 18, 2012
7/10	17%	LOL (2012)	" LOL is your standard teenage coming-of-age affair. Nothing about the film strikes as thoughtful or deep, with director Lisa Azuelos keeping things mostly uncomplicated and easy to watch." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 18, 2012
5.5/10	60%	Breathless (2012)	" Breathless is a dark and twisted character comedy that works because of the performances by the cast members, but doesn't work because of the story and just how simple it is." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 18, 2012
7.5/10	84%	The Raid: Redemption (2012)	" The Raid: Redemption is simply the best action movie of the last decade. Director Gareth Evans films the combat with a trained eye to maximize the intensity and entertainment." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 18, 2012
7.5/10	85%	The Hunger Games (2012)	" The Blu-Ray disc will impress the fans with its flawless audio track and serviceable video transfer." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 18, 2012
9/10	100%	Jaws (1975)	" Steven Spielberg's Jaws takes a bite out of the Blu-Ray format with a remastered video transfer, an absorbent 7.1 audio track and a whole bunch of bonus content that makes this a worthy purchase for longtime fans and those looking for a classic." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 18, 2012
5/10	——	One in the Chamber (2012)	" William Kaufman's One in the Chamber is exactly what you'd expect for a straight-to-home video release from Anchor Bay." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 18, 2012
7/10	20%	The Lucky One (2012)	" The Lucky One isn't the best Nicholas Sparks adaptation, but it's not the worst. It makes for yet another harmless romance that excels because of the chemistry between its two leads." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 18, 2012
8/10	34%	Battleship (2012)	" Peter Berg's Battleship is a sinking disaster that rarely stays afloat, but Universal's Blu-Ray disc is a finely tuned presentation that will put your HDTV and surround sound to the test." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 18, 2012
7.5/10	92%	School of Rock (2003)	" Richard Linklater's School of Rock still remains one of Jack Black's very best performances. The director and actor work together well and manage to make a rockin' comedy that'll bring out the kid in every rock 'n' roll fan." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 18, 2012
6.5/10	41%	Lovely Molly (2012)	" Eduardo Sanchez has proven his worth and his inability to direct a proper horror film with Lovely Molly. His lack-of-reveal style doesn't add up in this scare-less waste of time." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 17, 2012
8/10	64%	The Five-Year Engagement (2012)	" Emily Blunt and Segel do have excellent chemistry and comedic timing, but the film hits a slump at the halfway point and never manages to fully recover." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 17, 2012
6.5/10	86%	Sixteen Candles (1984)	" John Hughes' Sixteen Candles still remains a classic coming-of-age tale that resonates now just as well as it did in the 80s. " — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 17, 2012
4.5/10	13%	Piranha 3DD (2012)	" John Gulager's Piranha 3DD is a far cry from Alexandre Aja's gory, fun and campy horror flick from 2010. The sequel tries being even more over-the-top, but ends up sinking in its own cheap budget and rushed production." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 17, 2012
8/10	48%	Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)	" Rupert Sanders' Snow White and the Huntsman is a bloated mess that is plagued with pointless scenes and a non-ending that will leave most furious. The Blu-Ray receives high marks only because Universal did a great job with the transfer." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 17, 2012
7.5/10	57%	Safe (2012)	" Safe is an exceptional Jason Statham B-movie that managed to sneak through the cracks during its theatrical release." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 17, 2012
6.5/10	35%	The Victim (2012)	" Michael Biehn's directorial debut disappointingly crumbles under its own cheap production. The Victim is nothing more than a nude-heavy bore-fest that claims to be a thriller." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 17, 2012
10/10	93%	50/50 (2011)	" In a world where we are either given silly comedies or serious dramas, Jonathan Levine manages to bring both together in perfect harmony for 50/50." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 17, 2012
7/10	85%	Sleepwalk With Me (2012)	" Ultimately, the film becomes an admirable, but flawed piece of work. The comedy bits work well, but the overall story leaves something to be desired." — We Got This Covered Posted Sep 17, 2012
